Chapter 219 Gan Changsu is miserable

"What happened in the end?"

"How about it? Of course I buried it in front of everyone, and the government officials also explained it in person, saying that someone framed Magistrate Gou..."

"Oh, it's not for us people to know what the real situation is."

Several people looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Liu Qingcao curled her lips when she learned that Gou Xingwan and the others had buried these things.

If nothing else, this dog official will definitely find someone to dig him out afterwards.

Liu Qingcao wanted to make him feel unhappy again, but thinking about those things, she felt so sick that she even lost her appetite for food. After a difficult struggle in her heart, she had to give up the matter.

After leaving the inn, Liu Qingcao walked around the county town. After checking the accounts of the shops in the county town, he took the money and went directly to Pan Yong in the ruined temple.

Inside and outside the ruined temple, many people were sitting together, eating the food they had begged for today.

Liu Qingcao walked over and took a look at the food in their bowls. They were all a hodgepodge, including preserved eggs, cabbage, cucumbers, etc. They didn't look good, but they should taste quite delicious.

After all, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Brother Pan, long time no see." Liu Qingcao walked in and saw Pan Yong with his back to the door and a few people in cotton-padded clothes with messy hair sitting together. Pan Yong's actions seemed to be quite polite to these people.

Liu Qingcao looked at it carefully and almost didn't recognize it. When they recognized it, both parties felt a little embarrassed.

"Qingcao, what are you doing?" Gan Changsu returned to normal and greeted her with a smile.

"Magistrate Gan, why didn't you stay at the inn?" Liu Qingcao looked at the embarrassed looks of several people and asked puzzledly.

She remembered that she asked Pan Yong to take good care of a few people, but why are they now living in this ruined temple, eating these leftovers?

Gan Changsu coughed twice in embarrassment and explained, "Ahem, I am no longer a county magistrate. You and I are a generation apart, so just call me Brother Gan or Uncle Gan."

After speaking, Gan Changsu looked at the people around him with grateful eyes and said softly,

"We are here in this temple now, thanks to them not disapproving of it."

Liu Qingcao turned his attention to Pan Yong. Pan Yong put down the bowl in his hand, walked aside, took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao took it and took a look, a wry smile spread across her lips.

These pages are full of dense words, and none of them are superfluous expenditures.

She had no idea that doing this would consume such financial and material resources.

"Brother Pan, take the money and use it first. If you don't have enough, go to shopkeeper Zhou to withdraw it." Liu Qingcao quietly handed over a money bag.

There are more than 300 taels in it. At this rate of spending, I am afraid that these 300 taels will only last for a month.

This money cannot be saved no matter what, and it will only increase in the future.

She felt angry when she thought that this time she entered Magistrate Gou's house and only got some worthless things.

"Girl, the money brought by County Magistrate Gan was stolen..."

"..."

No wonder, she said, no matter how difficult it is for a county magistrate, he cannot be so poor and miserable.

Gou Xingwan persuaded him. Although the people above him dismissed his official position and ransacked his home, he was not exiled or imprisoned.

After thinking about it, someone still protected him. As for the money being stolen, it must have been someone sent by Gou Xingwan.

Gan Changsu was the most powerful official she had ever come into contact with, and he was an upright and selfless man. No matter what he was doing now, as long as his superiors didn't say anything to kill them, she couldn't help them. After all, they had a lot of ink in their stomachs. It would be a pity to give up like this and let him struggle in the mud until he died.

However, this stubborn man must not leave. On this day, Gan Changsu will be suppressed by him. Otherwise, how could a dignified man who had been a county magistrate find it so difficult to support his family.

"I'll ask them later if they are willing to follow me back to Qianfeng Town."

"Yes, girl." Pan Yong nodded, took out another piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Qingcao.Liu Qingcao glanced at it, put it in his arms, and walked towards Gan Changsu and the others.

"Brother Gan, do you want to leave Xin County?" Liu Qingcao looked seriously into Gan Changsu's eyes and asked.

Gan Changsu looked down at his own rags, then at his emaciated wife, children, and children beside him, and sighed.

"Qingcao, now our family is penniless and can't go anywhere."

"Brother Gan, it's hard for you to survive under the nose of Magistrate Nagou. If you don't mind, come back to Qianfeng Town with me. At least you can find a buddy in Qianfeng Town."

Liu Qingcao did not tell him his arrangement immediately, but tried to persuade him first.

Gan Changsu finally understood that Liu Qingcao was planning to give him a hand. Thinking of the people who had avoided him like snakes and scorpions in the past few days, and the wealthy gentry who stepped on him, Gan Changsu felt angry and annoyed.

"Then think more about Qingcao taking us on this journey." Gan Changsu stood up and saluted Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao avoided it. After all, he might become a county magistrate again one day. She didn't dare to accept his gift.

"Brother Gan, you're welcome." Liu Qingcao smiled and said sincerely.

……

There are 15 people in Gan Changsu's family, and Liu Qingcao cannot let them return to Qianfeng Town in ragged clothes. Therefore, she and Pan Yong measured their sizes respectively, and then went to a clothing store together.

Things in the county are more expensive than in the town. Fifteen sets of ready-made clothes cost 26 taels of silver, and what they bought was just ordinary cotton.

Gan Changsu did not want to take advantage of Liu Qingcao, saying that he had borrowed the money, and he would pay it back slowly after a while.

Liu Qingcao smiled and did not agree or disagree.

At the gate of the county town, there were many more government officials today. Liu Qingcao sat in front of the carriage, looking at the six more government officials than yesterday, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.

I'm afraid it's difficult to get out of this city today!
But if you don't leave, you have to wait for three to five days in this county. Magistrate Gou personally rushed to their Shihe Village from the county. I think the potatoes must have played a big role in him.

This was a critical period for them to search for lost items. It was okay for her to leave, but she was afraid that Magistrate Gou would take advantage of Gan Changsu and make them angry.

"Brother Gan, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the city today. I'll go to the inn to get a room for a few days and stay there for a few days before leaving."

"Okay." Gan Changsu is a smart man and naturally understands what Liu Qingcao means.

The group exited the carriage and went to the inn together.

The inn was still the one where Liu Qingcao stayed last night. When the waiter saw that she had brought more than a dozen people, he came over with a smile.

"Sir, how many rooms do you need?"

"Eight Room Guests"

"Hey, Brother Gan, why are you here?"

Before Liu Qingcao could finish her words, she saw a man holding a paper fan and walking across the threshold of the inn.

The sound that came out of his mouth was like someone strangling his throat, with a hanging tune, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"..."

"Brother Gan, the food brought by my little brother is to your liking." The man had a fat head and a big face, and his teeth were stained with black and yellow. His breath made Liu Qingcao turn away.

Gan Changsu blocked his wife, children and children behind him and had no intention of speaking.

But the man obviously didn't intend to end there. He twitched the corner of his mouth. The black mole at the corner of his mouth moved every now and then, with the black beards on it sweeping across his lips. It made people feel sick just looking at it.

But men don't think so, as if it is his temperament, and he often touches it with his hands.

"Why, you still think of yourself as the magistrate of Gan County. It's a pity that you are just a commoner now. Whether you can stay in this inn or not is not a matter of a word from me, Zhang Wu. You think so, Tian Changan." Zhang Wu laughed. He was teasing, with a look of disdain and ridicule.
